The Big Sick is a charming story of the values of family. I approached The Big Sick with no knowledge of the plot save for the fact that it was Romantic Comedy/ Drama. I knew nothing of the cast, setting or director. I approached this movie with mild expectations, a friend had recommend it but it didn't look like a movie I'd enjoy. So when I found myself laughing uncontrollably at three in the morning trying not to wake my family I was pleasantly surprised. This movie will touch you. You will experience a wide array of emotions from joy and laughter to real sadness and tears. They're were moments in this movie that I found myself holding my breath , white-knuckling it as intense emotion fueled scenes unfolded.
Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan both give terrific performances and I cannot praise the authentic feel of their relationship.
Overall I loved this movie, it is without a doubt in my top 5 movies of 2017. if you haven't already seen this movie I highly recommend it, even if you generally aren't a fan of this genre of film.
